This is a much loved and classic chicken dish in Chinese cuisine. This invigorating dish combines different textures in an appetising and sweet/spicy (from the ginger wine) broth. The fragrance of the wine is essential and hence it is a good idea to get your ginger wine from a reliable source. If you want this dish to be halal, you can follow the steps I will provide below but use halal mirin and chicken broth instead.

We usually like to add wood ear's fungus which provide good crunch and copious amounts of old ginger to add to the dish. This dish also belongs to the 'heaty' types of Chinese food and is especially good for one who is down with the cold. This is also probably due to ginger's widely recognised healing qualities. I hope you do give this a try soon!
